KALB-TV reports that Zak Evans was arrested Monday and remained in jail as the couple’s daughter was born. His wife, Bridget, received an ambulance ride to a hospital. Evans was given a ticket for speeding, flight from an officer and careless operation.
Creola police Chief Heath Landry says an officer clocked the couple going 108 mph (174 kph) in a 55 mph (89 kph) speed zone. He says the officer pulled them over in Pineville.
The officer who stopped the couple dropped Evans off at the hospital but Evans said he had already missed the birth.

No reason to kill someone while going to the hospital.
I agree, as there is zero excuse for going that fast; he could have killed his wife and unborn child, and other drivers and passengers, and even himself.
He endangered who knows how many people including his wife and unborn child
I doubt that any reader has gone that fast on a freeway, let alone a residential street.
